THE zIEBOLD q HAGELIN CASE.

Attorney General Bradfo- Asks to be
Heard In the Kansas Liquor Law Cases
WASHINGTON, d. c., October A.-The
supreme court to-day denied the motion to
advance made by Mr.. Packard in the four
prohibition liquor cases from Iowa and one
from Georgia, standing on the docket as
LOIS and l 1,091 to 1,094 inclusive. They in
volve the same questions which were pre-
sented by the case of Zirbold Hagelin,
already argued. The attorney general of
Kansas who, by reason of misapprehension
did not appear to argue the latter
case orally, was in the court room this
morning and filed petition for leave to
make oral argument now, Notwithstanding
the court having already taken the case un-
der adyisement. The question presented by
this case is regarded as a very important
one, since it involves the constitutionality
of all prohibition legislation since the adop-
ton of the fourteenth amendment, which
does not provide for compensation to the
brewer or distillers for the value of property
destroyed by forcible closing of their estab-
liShmentS

WASHINGTON, D. G. October 2O.-Commis-
sioner Sparks of the general land Office in a

Fork of the Red river, in the southwestern
part of the Indian Territory, or exercising

over tho same, in contravention of the au-
thorlty of the United StaGes. This request is
made upon information that certain
persons claiming that lands in question
belonged to the state of Texas, have at
tempted to exercise Jurisdiction over the
same as county officers of the state of Texas.
1t is also stated that an intention has,been
declared to have one-half the lands classi-
fed as school lands belonging to the state of
Texas.

Chfcsgo Meeting at Which the Speeches
were Tempered with Reason.
CHICAGO, October 2O-About 5000 people
were present at the anarchists amnesty asso-
citation at Battery D armory Tonight. A large
number of policemen were stationed in the
building at convenient points. The language
of the speakers was very mild, and no unu-
sual disturbance occurred. The principal
speakers we're L. M. Sloan, Alderman Con-
ner and Tommy Morgan. The following
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, We are convinced that the an
archists were not tried by an impartial jury
and unprejud1ced court; we believe the YER
dict was brought about by representations
and distorted facts given to the public by
the sensational press; and,
WHEREAS, A superior court has returned
verdict that we are convinced was unwarrant-
ed by evidence and due to technical con-
struction of the law. duplicating them in a
crime where there were no satisfactory
proofs that they were either principals or ac-
cessories to it, and
WHEREAS, The press, as rule, are urging
that this sentence, which we regard as
social crime, be inflicted, and bringing upon
the governor of the state a pressure that is
unfair to the convicted men and to the peo-
pie. Therefore,
ReSolued, That we, the people, in mass
meeting assembled, earnestly and emphati-
cally protest against this unjust verdict. and
respectfully urge and entreat the governor
by the wise exercise of his power to exercise
clemency and commute the sentence
Four hundred dollars was raised by sub
scription to be applied for the benefit of
the case.

tions were taken.

Albemarle which will exceed $30, 900. When
the explosion occurred the guests in the
Hotel Albemarle became panic stricken and
several were injured in making their escape
from the building, A number Of persons
who were confined to their beds with typhoid

GALVESTON, TEXAS, October pa special
to ths News from Rio Grande City, Texas,
says: Starr county, along the border of
Mexico, is in a state of terror. Mexican
bandits ride through the streets of this and
other neighboring towns at night and Off
GERS of the law dare not show themselves.
Saturday party of bandits came to town
and mailed two letters at the
post office-one to Manuel Geurno, of
Roma, and the other to Senator Donicar-
ino, of this place, notifying them that IN
less they Immediately raised $1,000 and
$4,000, respectively for the bandits their
stores would be blown to atoms with
dynamite. Governor Ross has been
appealed to for protection, but thus
far no response has been received.
The United States cavalry, located at
Ringgold barracks, near here, are of no
service because of the official red tape ne
cessary to move troois from the barracks on
short notice. Before the order from head
quarters could arrive the town might be
sacked and the bandits safe in Mexico.

An Important Decision.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October PA
decision was rendered by the supreme court
of the United States to-day in the three
cases of the United States appellant against
the states of Louisiana, Alabama and Miss
issippi. These were suits brought in the court
of claims by the states named to recover
from the United States 5per cent. of the
net proceeds of the sales of public lands
within their limits, and also to recover in
demnity for swamp lands purchased by indi!
viduals, the proceeds of which were, by
statute, directed to be applied as far
as necessary to the reclamation of such
lands by means of levees and drains. The
United States maintained that the court of
claims had no jurisdiction to determine
cause in which astate sued the United States;
that part of the claims were barred by
the statute of limitations and that the Unit
ed States was entitled to make set off or
a counter claim on account of the states of
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi under
the act of August 5, 1861. The count OF claims
decided it had jurisdi tiol, that
the disputed item were not barred by the
statute of limitations, and that the set off or
counter claim could not be allowed. This
court afirms the Judgment. Opinion by
Justice Field.

The Panhandle Evfctions.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 2O.-First
Auditor Chenowith, who is from Texas, when
shown the report printed in southern papers
that Rocking Chair Ranch company, where
the eviction of settlers of the panhandle of
Texas was made, said this action had long
been expected. There had been trouble
brewing between this company, he contin-
ued, and the settlers for some time. The
company owns tract of land of about thir-
ty to forty square miles. Running through
this land is what is known as the school fund
sections, which, being open to settlement,
have been taken up and are now claimed by
those living upon them. A short time ago
the company fenced in the entire section,
while owning but alternate strips. The ac-
ton is without shadow of authority.
"Wili the matter be brought before con-
gress?'

courts first, where am Of the opinion it will
be quickly settled, there being strong SYM
pathy openly expressed for the unfortunate
settlers who are the real sufferers in these

American SHIPPING.

1t is Far From What 1t Should Belts
Dangers and It's Possibilities.
Boston, MASS, October 22.-The Amer
lean Shipping and Industrial league opened
its second days session this morning. Will
liam n. Webb, of New York, was the first
speaker. He referred to the former
prosperity of American shipping under
the governments protection and assistance,
and to the decline when that assistance was
withdrawn. To-day, he said, of our naval
seamen ten per cent: are foreigners, and
if war should break out, we would have to
buy foreign ships and man them with
foreign men. Protection made it possible
to build ships in this country and the gov
ernment should make it possible to build up
the industry again. With the material at
hand there was no reason why we
should not command chief part
of the carrying trade Of the
should have to go through great thrashing
before the country would awaken to the
necessity of the hour.
w. 81. Lincoln referred to the former
prosp erity of New England sh pping
and advocated government aid.
He believed that unless something
vigorous was done that our shipping would
be practically extinct in five years. There
has not been a ship built In Massachusetts
for six years.

to attend other shipping conven-
tions in various parts of the country

A MuddIed Case.

NEw YORK, October 2l.-Chas. 6. Franck-
lyn who was locked up at late hour last
night at Ludlow street Jail, is still in custo-
dy having been unable to procure the bail
of $5OO,OOO required. The suit in which his
arrest was made is brought by Sir Bache
Cunard. The complaint alleges that on Sep
tember "a, 1887, he engaged Francklyn as
agent and entrusted to him the management
of an estate consisting of about
100000 worth = of bonds and other
securities, October 6, 1888, he gave
him 100000. In July, 1885, Sir
Bache demanded the return of his property,
and on September 25 Francklyn gave him
$322, $50. Sir Bache claims that Francklyn
is still indebted to him to the amount of
$3,OOO,OOO, the balance and accumulations
of interest. Mr.. Stillman, of Francklyn's
counsel, said the defense claimed that Sir
Bache Canard and Mr.. Francklyn were
Jointly interested in the business enterprises
in this country; that the latter had full au-
thority from the former for all mis- acts that
are now complained of, and that Sir Bache
was now trying to make good his share of
the losses incurred by demanding that Mr..
Francklyn should pay them. Mr.. Francklyn
positively refuses to see anyone but his
